      "value": "The Apocalypse Meow plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the \u0027type\u0027 parameter in all versions up to, and including, 22.1.0. This is due to a flawed logical operator in the type validation check on line 261 of ajax.php \u2014 the condition uses `\u0026\u0026` (AND) instead of `||` (OR), causing the `in_array()` validation to be short-circuited and never evaluated for any non-empty type value. Combined with `stripslashes_deep()` being called on line 101 which removes `wp_magic_quotes()` protection, attacker-controlled single quotes pass through unescaped into the SQL query on line 298. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database."

Esto se debe a un operador l\u00f3gico defectuoso en la comprobaci\u00f3n de validaci\u00f3n de tipo en la l\u00ednea 261 de ajax.php: la condici\u00f3n utiliza \"\u0026amp;\u0026amp;\" (AND) en lugar de \u00ab||\u00bb (OR), lo que provoca que la validaci\u00f3n \u00abin_array()\u00bb se acorte y nunca se eval\u00fae para ning\u00fan valor de tipo no vac\u00edo. En combinaci\u00f3n con la llamada a `stripslashes_deep()` en la l\u00ednea 101, que elimina la protecci\u00f3n `wp_magic_quotes()`, las comillas simples controladas por el atacante pasan sin escapar a la consulta SQL de la l\u00ednea 298. Esto permite a los atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel administrador o superior, a\u00f1adir consultas SQL adicionales a las consultas ya existentes, que pueden utilizarse para extraer informaci\u00f3n confidencial de la base de datos."
